Great Desserts: Yogurt Fruit Salad
After a delicious meal, it is easy to overindulge on dessert. One way to be sure that you are not eating too much is to limit your portion sizes. Let’s be honest though, portioning a dessert can sometimes be very difficult. I offer a wonderful alternative. Simply replace your high fat dessert with a healthy one!
My favorite healthy dessert is Fruit Salad. With three easy steps, you can have an amazing fruit salad dessert ready to be served.
The Ingredients
Various fruits
Low fat plain yogurt
The Steps
- Pull out your favorite fruits and start slicing them into bite size pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, take your yogurt and the sliced fruit and mix them together.
- Scoop the fruit mixture into a cocktail glass and garnish with mint or cinnamon sticks. Serve and enjoy!
The best part about this dessert is that there isn’t a need for portion control! With no added sugar and a plentiful supply of calcium and Vitamin C and other vitamins, you are not only satiating your sweet tooth, but supplying your body with nutrients. Serving the fruit salad in a pretty cup adds to the dessert’s allure. For extra sugar, replace half of the yogurt with vanilla ice cream and enjoy – but be sure to portion it!
